The Series B round also saw participation from Matrix Partners. The company has raised $31.5 million till date, including from the present round.

He added that the company has been witnessing 25-30 percent growth month-on-month, which it hopes to continue.

The company had previously raised $11.5 million in Series A round from the same marquee investors along with 33 angel investors, and a strategic investment by MasterCard in 2016.

"The cash-heavy traditional sectors and new age businesses require comprehensive and powerful products that enable more than just payment acceptance and help them scale money movement through technology. And it is these sectors which we believe will lead the next phase of surge in digital payments in India," he said.
